3 HIGHFIELD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 HIGHFIELD CLOSE sales between September 1997 and August 2018 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the December 1998 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 3 HIGHFIELD CLOSE be worth now?

The 22.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 HIGHFIELD CLOSE of £399,950 on 2nd August 2018. For the value to have increased from £399,950 to £491,440 over the seven years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
